What is a POS device?
POS is an acronym for Point of Service. A POS device is a compact electronic transaction terminal designed to gather and transfer (send and receive) information over a standard telephone line to a remote host at the point of service. The remote host is entirely responsible for processing the data that is sent by the POS device. The only processing that occurs at the device itself is simple field editing. After processing the data, the remote host immediately returns the results of the processing back to the POS device for display to the provider. Currently, the Omni 3750 terminal is the only POS device approved for use in requesting information from the Medicaid system.
